Sometimes I Just Want To Lick David

The Stainless-steel Frets Were A Major Breakthrough, Because Of The Amount Of Playing And Bending That I Do. I Have To Get My Guitars Refretted Every Couple Of Months.

I Was Just A Punk Kid, Trying To Get A Sound Out Of A Guitar That I Couldn't Get Off The Rack, So I Built One Myself ... I Wanted A Gibson Type Of Sound But With A Strat Vibrato .. I Went To Town Painting It And I Put Three Pickups Back In, But They Don't Work - Only The Rear One Works

I Never Took Guitar Lessons. I Took Classical Piano Lessons From The Age Of Six When We Lived In Holland.

I Grew Up On A Lot Of Early Beatles, Dc5, Cream, Clapton, Page, Beck And Hendrix.

It's Funny, When Bands Or Younger Musicians Ask Me: 'so, What Does It Take To Make It?' Well, First Explain To Me What You Mean By 'making It': Do You Want To Be A Rock Star Or Do You Want Music To Be Your Livelihood?
